Breeder Philosophy

We are responsible dog breeders. We have spent a lifetime learning pedigrees, going over dogs, talking, and learning from those in our breeds and those outside it. We raise each litter as if we gave birth to them and spend an equal amount of time finding them loving forever homes. We only bring puppies into this world that we think will be the healthiest (mentally and physically) and best examples of their breed. We support each family who is chosen for one of our puppies and let them know they are now a part of our extended family. We treat them all well; answer calls, emails and Facebook messages day or night, through thick and thin. We are there when life-altering changes occur in families and one of our dogs must come back to be re-homed. We support our breeds in rescue and education. We health test our dogs and guarantee the puppies we produce. If a medical condition crops up, we alter our breeding program and try to prevent the problem in future generations. Our breeding program produces dogs that conform to a specific breed standard, not just in physical appearance and working structure, but more importantly in temperament, intelligence and trainability. We share our knowledge and we socialize, train and title our dogs so that they will be the advertisement for our dedication. It is impossible to determine the amount of money and time invested into our love of dogs; it would not be a true measure of how we feel. The price charged for our Dutch shepherd puppies is not based on profit, but rather for an investment in the next generation of dogs. Our facilities are inspected and licensed yearly. We offer dog training courses for manners, competition, and service work. We have a huge network of people waiting for our puppies, with 3 generations of families (parents, children and now grand-children) buying our dogs. We are not ashamed of whom we are... we work very hard at being good dog breeders and encourage others.  We are proud of the dogs we produce and the joy and happiness those dogs bring to others, no matter their job… and we are honored to have created them.

We guarantee our bred puppies (German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd or Parson Jack Russell Terrier) to be free of all congenital defects, especially those of hip and elbow dysplasia.  In the case of missing testicles, the guarantee provides for refund of $250 toward the total amount needed for surgical correction (neutering) paid directly to the veterinary hospital.  In the case of a defect that is cosmetic, non-life altering and non-life ending (such as ears that do not stand erect); a refund will be given in the amount of $500 with the exception of dental deficiencies.  (Click here for greater details.) We also guarantee our Dutch shepherd  sales to be free of infectious disease at the time of sale within that disease's incubation period.  This guarantee does not include internal parasites (however puppies are dewormed twice prior to sale on the dates stated in the individual sales contract).  The buyer assumes all responsibility if they fail to keep this dog in a healthy, lean condition.  The dysplasia guarantee is void in obese dogs or in dogs spayed/neutered BEFORE 18 months of age. (Read here what early spaying/neutering can do to your dog's health.)  If this puppy fails in this guarantee against dysplasia, a free replacement puppy will be given from the first available litter.  If the buyer does not wish a puppy, one from a future litter will be assigned as theirs and sold for the buyer.  The proceeds will then be given directly to the buyer and will always equal the purchase price paid for the original puppy.  This contract applies to the original puppy buyer only and is not transferable to a second party or in force if the puppy no longer resides with the original buyer.
